An on-line collection of calculators.

I well remember the whole class reciting 'a gallon of water weights a pound and a quarter'.

No wonder you failed your 11+: it's a PINT of water that weighs a pound-and-a-quarter.

Alas! 'Tis the passage of time that erroneously links bits of data in the brain cells. I know that only too well.
What you were also thinking of was one gallon of water weighs 10 pounds.

I have also got one of those Comodores but sadly it has lost two digits and no amount of dry joint soldering will fix it but I do have a much older one that still works like new. It was made in Uxbridge of all places.

Al,

First of all let me appologise for anexing your Thread.

Next the funny(?) story. I was in the Pub tonight with an old Mate and I told him the story of failing to find my old Calculator. Bear in mind that he wouldn't know a Programmable Calculator from a ripe Melon. Anyway, he dialed a few things into his iphone and said 'Is this it?' - http://www.vintagecalculators.com/html/c..._324g.html
Now, I must have looked at that when I was searching that Site, and I even remembered thinking that the back looked familiar, but I didn't connect it with my memories.
So, I think that answers my question, apart from saying 'Has anyone got one for sale?

I can only refer you to my earlier post #11.
And it's somewhat re-assuring to discover that I am not alone in my struggle . . .

Age, with his stealing steps,
Hath clawed me in his clutch.

I suspect many of them will have been junked Alan, if only because of the number of board connectors and related possible points of failure.
